Roki Sasaki Tosses 48-Pitch Live Bullpen Session on Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki tossed 48 pitches during a live bullpen session Wednesday, operating in lieu of a scheduled start against the Reds. Manager Dave Roberts reported that the session went well. The team will now decide whether Sasaki returns to action as a starter or reliever for the remainder of the regular season. He figures to primarily pitch out of the bullpen during the upcoming playoffs, though he remains an option to start if injuries open a spot.
